+1. Can't wait for the fix. I might try the Galaxy Tab email client, just for kicks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Thanks for your support! Please note the full-size banners denote ACS members - there are userbars on the first page. :)

It is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Well, I finally broke down and tried this ROM. I installed and ran two benchmark programs and they did hit higher than any rom I've tried. But that's as far as I can praise it. I've done this several times, so I know what I'm doing... 3x all 3 wipes and properly installed the rom. It ran fine for about 20 minutes until I tried to run the wireless tethering. I don't know why the experimental version 3 was used because it did what it always does on all the roms I've tried it on, it force closes the first time then it will reboot your phone when you start it thereafter. After reboot it force-closed google framework and when trying the wired tether some other things fc'd (swype which I don't use and when I disabled it - then the android keyboard fc'd lol!). However it did finally connect and I'm using it to type this.

I guess I did get greedy though. After some time I had the Midnight ROM running extremely well with every single app/util/etc. running perfectly. I just really wanted the IQ Agent gone as well. I guess I'll just have to get over Obama watching my boring life from time to time.

:D

I know you guys put a lot of work into this rom but it's just not ready.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sirens6:
This may sound extremely dumb but I need to ask, what is considered a fair donation? This rom is amazing minus the small bugs that set it back one step after taking a giant leap forward and I would just like to show a like thanks to the devs that have made it all happen. so I say again, what would you consider a "fair" donation?
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
right, so i figured it out. For some reason the zip I downloaded the first time was being read improperly. I just deleted it off my sd card, formatted it, re-downloaded the file, and now all is good.

Thanks again for all your work! this is a beast!!!!:D:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigray327:
No joy, the Galaxy Tab email app force closes the same way when opening new emails.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Re-download - bad download - that's my guess
[Epic 4G Android Development] lviv73:
Another bug.My brightness after I put it on minimum goes back to almost full after reboot-i think.All I know is that it goes from minimum to full without me touching it.

Oh,i flashed the Twilight kernel and it flashed without problems.However I noticed that it flashed way too quick and the "blue letters" that are usually present when flashing kernels wasnt there.

At first I thought that I had a bad download so I downloaded 2 more files from different sources and same thing hapened.Is that normal?Because I always get blue letters when flashing kernels and I dont on this one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
I know its off topic, but how would i sport on of those banners? I cant figure it out for the life of me.

But on topic, Im loving this rom. been running it since it was out. The only issue ive seen personally, since i dont use email or tethering, was the "about phone" section FC'ed on me. But i think thats because i removed swype. Because i flashed a different version, and the issue stopped. But overall great rom, looking forward to updates :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mis3:
I'm not at my computer, so this answer will be half-assed, but might be enough. Using 7-zip on your pc, open rom, system, framework. Then open framework-res (its an apk, but open as a zip). Next, open some of the zips inside until you see defaultwallpaper.jpg, and that's it. I think the zip to open is something like framework res-hdpi.

If this doesn't work (and nobody else answers), pm me and I'll look up the exact answer in the morning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DeeODoubleD:
Now I'm confused. So I restored my nandroid backup and all is well. Odd thing though; the build number still shows twilight frozen. So for kicks I ran quadrant and smartbench and both reported thed highest scores I've seen on the midnight rom twice on both.

Is it possible it still has the ACS kernal even after restore? If so, who cares its running great lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Isira:
I also got the Voicemail SMS notification with Go SMS, but the actual message disappeared when I went to check on it. Note that I did not delete MMS/SprintAndroidExtension/CM-android. I just think that Go SMS picked up the message faster than the system could erase it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
It also needs to be renamed bootanimation.zip, its currently bootanimation-1.zip

Oh and I like it ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yeah, that too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
k0nane,

Just curious here. With more than a year until upgrade eligibility, I have no intention of jumping ship from the Epic. I've delved pretty deep into the Android community, and have finally even begun my first attempts at theming :eek:. I try to help others out here the best I can with my experience on your roms and the Bonsai roms.

So here's the question: What's next for the team, after the Epic? Will you guys be collectively choosing a new device to take on, and will you give us here a heads up? Many may follow suit if they know which device this team plans to develop next!

I know it's not time yet, but this is my first android device and I've only had it 7 months, so I'm just wondering what happens to a dev team when their device becomes outdated and upgrade time comes around! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Indeed.. I'm fairly new to the Epic, but I by God know what works. I'm a dedicated k0 drone from here on out. Aside from the fact that it's a quality product, he did updates and QA sessions fom people like me while waiting for his own damned phone.. Amazing.. Sides'.. Mystery is on board and I want more CrimsonBeast.. :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdbc:
I understand that there's an addon for changing 'ACS' TO 'Sprint'. Any chance you could release the same type of addon to change it to 'INC'? I'd like to show my support, in even this small way, for the new team.

I already changed the boot animation long ago. I have a special liking for the helix boot on and off anims.
[Epic 4G Android Development] moporoco:
Tried this and it worked beautifully, the EXT4 conversion took place as part of the ROM install.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Akmorgan:
Some of you may know I was having major battery drain, so I removed my gallery.apk and installed quick pic then wiped data and cache 3 times and re flashed the rom. I charged with the phone off to 100% then reset battery stats in cwm. Rebooted and it immediately read 95% remaining. The phone has now been on for just under and hour and its already down to 81%. Any reccomendations? This battery life is killing me.

Side note: what's the difference between cache and dalvik cache?
[Epic 4G Android Development] imann:
I just came back to this ROM from the Swiss Cheese Samsprint. I kept the EE03 Modem to give it a try. I just like this rom so much more than stock. I will miss the netflix but can live without it till it is able to be brought to Frozen. I love the work you do k0 and am looking forward seeing what INC has in store.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imann:
How do I change the boot animation? Do I have to have a computer? It is telling me I do not have permission.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Click on the link in my signature... I made a video showing you how to change boot animations.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imann:
Thanks a lot qbking77, I love your videos. I am still new to android and they have helped me out a lot. Thanks for the quick reply.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
No problem man, hopefully I'll have some new ones coming this weekend ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jockovonred:
use spare parts and check for wake locks via rogue apps...freeze or uninstall the app if it's bugging.

cache is cache

dalvik: cache for dalvik; like windows prefetch in a way - dalvik optimizes running programs and is rebuilt on boot after clearing
[Epic 4G Android Development] Akmorgan:
Ok I'll give that a shot. When looking for wake locks what exactly would indicate a problem causing app? Also about the 95% battery remaing immediately after wiping battery stats on a full charge, that would indicate the calibration is off right?

Under what circumstances should the dalvik cache be wiped?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stormglove:
No it wouldn't indicate bad calibration. There's a governor that keeps the batt safe that only allows charge to 100 for a but then discharge, even while plugged in, down to 95 ish then back up and on and on. Have you tried using a different modem after the gallery change, and wake lock is anything reading a high time in the partial wake usage in spare parts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkshneider:
So did the "leak source" stay with ACS, go with INC or is it neutral?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
That is unimportant.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkshneider:
Lol aw come on, it sure is, but Ill respect your answer.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
What??!! Why are you getting an iPhone? Those things are terrible compared to Android phones, I'm surprised at this one. Can you even develop on those things?

Of course you're not getting an iphone, nor do you work for Samsung.

[Epic 4G Android Development] lsujim:
Wow you all are fast with the replies. I'm liking this rom with journaling. I'll be using this rom for the foreseeable future. :D

I noticed a minor bug on the AOSP lock screen sound/vibrate bar. If the phone is in vibrate mode and you slide the sound on, a "Sound is on" message is displayed. Then slide the vibrate on and it displays "vibrate is off" even though you turned it on. Is there a fix for this?

add on install instructions

Hi, I would like to install some of the addons, mainly the date fix, sprint network name fix, and sprint nfl app, are there any instructions to go about this? I tried installing the apk's that where within the zip subdirectory's but that did not work. (yes i have checked the install outside applications button in the phone settings)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkshneider:
Flash the stuff the same way you falshed the ROM, except the wipe part. OK do this: after you flash your ROM and boot it for the first time (or many times), go back to recovery with the addons in the SD card and flash them from the menu.
[Epic 4G Android Development] EmoSaga:
I would like to say that I've been using this rom since it was first released. I love it so much. Now I flashed the EE03 Modem and... wow.. my battery life is ASTOUNDING! Even while tethering!

BATTERY LIFE UPDATE:

Charged phone to 100% and immediately booted into CWM and wiped battery stats. Rebooted phone and it said 96% (frustrating)

the phone lasted 13 hours with screen being on for 1hr 20 min, Phone calls were at 19mins. There didn't appear to be any wakelock issues in spare parts. I read someone's comment about fixing wake lock issues by setting SetCPU to 200mhz on demand or something like that. But shouldn't a batter last longer than this with only 20 minutes of calls, and the screen being on for 1hr and 20? I mean the majority of those 13 hours were while I was asleep.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slow5Ohh:
Doesn't seem that great at all. I finally put mine back on the charger since I'm sitting at home, but I was on 26+ hours, over 2 hours of screen on time, and I was at 50%. All I do is make sure my wi-fi and 3g is turned off when I'm not using it. I have my SetCPU OnDemand settings at 200/1300. And I think 200/600 with screen off

bloat apps

Thanks for your reply. For the sprint bloat apps, since there is only one I want to install (the nfl app) can I remove the .apk's inside the zip that I do not want so they will not be installed, or is there a better way to do this. Second is if anyone knows the name of the .apk associated with the nfl app. Unfortunately there is not one named "nfl" or "football"

thanks,

Mike
[Epic 4G Android Development] Darkshneider:
Idk if it can be done that way. I believe its easier to just install it completely then follow the guide to uninstall unwanted apks. Ive heard of an SDX Remover but I dont have any links or ever used it for that matter. Someone else can help you out though, sorry.

I have been running this rom for a while now and decided to try the swiss cheese gingerbread rom.. too many bugs and battery drained like crazy..so came back to this rom via nandroid backup. Since then I did put the helix boot and shutdown animation on my phone and now I am seeing much less battery life than before ( but still more than I got with swisscheese). I was wondering if anyone knew what might be causing it..

Do the helix boot and shutdown animations cause crappier battery life...

or does my phone just need to settle down after all the flashing?

Thanks guys!

Figured out my big issue with corruption on non-journaling fs. I kept getting FCs and corruption on SFR 1.1 after shutting down to swap batteries. I thought i'd read to wait until that vibrate to know shutdow was completed. Turns out it looks like it takes about 20 seconds after the final vibrate for the screen to turn off and shutdown to finish. I figured this out by watching the screen in the dark during shutdown. It'll go from almost black to black when it's done. After figuring that out I can finally run SRF 1.1 wthout corruption!

That being said, I've got to apologize for blaming the rom :)

Hope this helps somebody else!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
Well, that sounds promising and all, but I've heard a lot of things here that sound promising that turned out not to help at all- the last one being updating the cwm version.

I've found that it's common to run problematic configurations for about 20 hours without issues, but people immediately post about how great their device is working now that they applied the latest "fix", then the issues start again. so I'll be keeping an eye on your posts though tomorrow.

Not trying to be a troll, just relaying my personal experience. My epic went into a boot loop last night in the middle of the night for no reason whatsoever. I haven't messed with it in days and it had been running top notch on sfr 1.0.2.
